Suncheon-si Provides Free 'Health Package' for Non-Face-to-Face Experience Activities

A Path to Mutual Growth Opens for Farmers and Vulnerable Groups Through Experiential Activity Health Packages

[Suncheon=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City, Jeollanam-do (Mayor Heo Seok) announced on the 9th that it will provide non-face-to-face rural convergence experience activity health kits free of charge (up to 19,000 KRW per person) to vulnerable groups such as the elderly and disabled, as well as daycare centers and child welfare facilities.

The non-face-to-face health kits project aims to promote physical activity among vulnerable groups who find outdoor activities difficult due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic and summer heatwaves, and to increase sales for rural convergence certified businesses. This project was the first in the nation to be selected as a Ministry of Economy and Finance lottery fund project by Jeollanam-do, securing 1.5 billion KRW in national funding.

Applications for the project can be submitted at nearby eup/myeon/dong administrative welfare centers until the 31st. If selected, participants can purchase from 56 different types of kits through ‘Namdo Jangteo,’ an online shopping mall operated by Jeollanam-do, and participate in experience activities.

The experience activities provide educational videos through the ‘Jeonnam Rural Convergence Industry Support Center TV’ YouTube channel and Namdo Jangteo, making it easy for anyone to follow along. Additionally, if requested by facilities or schools, the certified businesses will visit directly to assist with the experience activities.

A city official stated, “We hope that the non-face-to-face experience activity ‘health kits’ will not only help alleviate the management difficulties of rural convergence certified businesses but also greatly aid in relieving depression among vulnerable groups and enhancing creativity in children.”
